'''Cape Rainy Assault''' is the fourteenth campaign mission of ''[[Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown]]''. The player must fly through the valley undetected and destroy the Erusean air force base.

==Briefing==
''With the loss of an Arsenal Bird followed by the destruction of their ballistic missile base, Erusea is running out of ways to counter. This is a great opportunity for the Osean Army to bolster our power to eventually take down the Erusean capital of Farbanti. The special long-range strategy is entering its final phase. Our objective is to attack and capture the Erusean air force base in Cape Rainy in Northern Erusea. This important base is at the forefront of our strategy to establish control of Farbanti. Under the cover of night, our plan is that all squadrons will invade from the valley to the south and mount an air assault on the area. The enemy's observation field has eyes on the skies above the valley, so your altitude will need to be restricted. If you go over a certain altitude, the enemy could spot you, ending the mission in failure. Keep that in mind. Once you arrive, you are to take out the enemy's air defense forces as soon as possible and prepare for the support squadrons. When the air defense forces are neutralized, the helicopter squadron should arrive carrying marines. The plan is to take control of the base. Getting through the valley is only half the job.''

==Objectives==
===Initial===
The player must first fly through the canyon without being detected by spotlights. The mission will automatically fail if the player is detected by said spotlights, attacks indiscriminately or flies above 600 meters.

===Mission Update===
After reaching the base, the player must destroy all enemies guarding it before allied reinforcements arrive. The player also must protect allied reinforcements from ground targets after they reach the base.

==Debriefing==
''Excellent work on the night raid. Submarines have arrived from the Osean mainland and are refueling. This base will serve as a frontline platform for our mission to take Farbanti. We're almost at the end of this operation.''

==S Rank==
Earning an [[Clear Rank|S Rank]] on this mission requires earning a combined score and time bonus of 32,640 points or more.

The maximum time bonus available is 18,040 for completing the mission in a total of 9 minutes or less. This includes time spent retrying from the checkpoint. If the player can complete the mission in that amount of time, they only need 14,600 points from destroying targets in the mission itself to earn the S Rank.

If the player goes past the 9 minutes threshold, the time bonus decreases by 40 points every second, so the player must compensate by destroying more targets to hit the 32,640 point threshold.

==Trivia==
*After passing the last searchlight, it is possible to destroy enemy searchlights in the canyon for 120 points each despite being unable to lock onto them.
